HOT! HOT! HOT! PLAYSTATION 2 IN STOCK AT EXPRESS.COM!!!

[extremepc]

If you can't wait for March to get one, this is ur last chance. Currently there are still 38 units in stock. Better hurry!!!!http://www.express.com/consumer/products_games_fr.asp?NO_CATALOG=X&PRODUCTNUMBER=200003154

This is the Japanese version, but you can modify it to play US and CDR games!!!!!
BUT BEWARE, CHECK OUT THE REVIEWS BY PSX2 OWNERS. They don't seem too happy about the PSX2. HMMMM, maybe Dreamcast is WAY BETTER, and PSX2 is just too over hyped.

You are right. The Dreamcast do have better games at the moment. I got a PS2 with Madden2k1, Takken Tag, Ridge Racer V and Armor Core2. Believe it or not, I had only play my PS2 for less then 3 hours total. My friends play it more then I do.

Your Price:$599.99 (25% off)
Retail Price: $799.99 You Save: $200.00

Hot Deal? You decide. A bit chilly for me.

 

[stonerdave]

Hmmm, I thought the Jap. PSX2 had a diff expansion port than the US one. I could be wrong here, anyone else know?

 

[xDanielx]

dont get the ps2 version from japan, the dvd sucks compared to the US. I love my DC! Way Cheaper and I can just rip dvd's and play them on the dc.

 

[Dhendra]

Why not just get one from Amazon.com tonight?

[dafatha00]

well...the japanese import version of the psx2 aren't limited...there are a lot left

 

[extremepc]

if you can get one

 

[Dhendra]

Well, I already got mine
And since i'm not a greedy whore, i'm not going to buy more. Hopefully the one console i don't grab tonight goes to someone who really wants it, not someone who's going to eGay it.

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

Stick it to RAMBUS! Don't buy PS2!

 

[awrmplace]

Hey dehendra, are you positive? I called and I couldnt get anything out of the CSR, he said he was positive none were going on sale, and that he would tell me if they were cause he knew I was just trying to get one for myself. Also 12am EST or PST??

 

[kinkyboy702]

you can play cdrs on ps2? i thought they only had dvd games. oh well... are there any dvd burners that actually use dvds and not those cassette looking things?

 

[extremepc]

Dhendra, not everybody is as lucky as u are
and besides, if u are reading this thread, aren't you planning to get another one?
And worst of all, you plan to sell it on flebay
u greedy bastard!!!

 

[Dhendra]

No idea...remember, some guy yelled at my CSR just as he finished telling me that. Plus, he told me not to tell anyone and offered a PS2 to me D), and I got my email confirmation too. So, i'm just telling you guys what i heard...I can't confirm or deny anything because I have no idea what's going on with them. Plus, I frankly don't care (sorry, but it's true), but my search has finally ended.

Just wanted to give a little back to everyone who's always posted great deals. I really wouldn't be surprised if they decide to scrap the whole thing till tomorrow (heh, i wished i could playback the conversation, that dude in the backround was pissed). I don't understand why it's a "secret" though.

 

[awrmplace]

Maybe they dont want their servers crashed. Thanks for the info, its some what helpful, im also just out to get one for myself.

 

[LedFusion]

Any idea on if that was midnight pst or est?

Of course, if it's the same as the initial release, it will end up being 12 noon, not midnight.

Anything to stick it to the consumer!

For those who are interested in the "PS2 Preorder Due in DEC 1st.....for 299.00", please think twice.
PS2 Preorder Due in DEC 1st.....for 299.00
(I was about the post the warning and mod locked the thread so I think i'll post it here.)

THAT www.fol.net IS A SCAM!!!

1. Have you ever seen an Internet store has whole bunch of links to the competitors' websites?

2. Look, I can easily view their files:
http://fol.net/images/
Pay close attention to the date, almost all those images were uploaded in the same day: 17-Oct-2000, which is only 2 weeks ago.

3. They only have THREE items for sell:
- PlayStation 2 - $299.00
- Xootr Street Scooter - $389.951
- MONOPOLY® The Collector's Edition - $595.00
Their main purpose here is to sell the PlayStation 2. They know no one will buy other items, which are overpriced by a few hundreds dollars.

4. The 'home page' is design into 2 frames (view the source code). Look at very bottom of your browser and you'll find another frame with no content. THIS IS WEIRD!!!

Like Sesopedalian said in that thread: "Hear me now and believe me later..."
